In geometry, the great stellated 120-cell or great stellated polydodecahedron is a regular star 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol {5/2,3,5}. It is one of 10 regular Schläfli-Hess polytopes.

It is one of four regular star 4-polytopes discovered by Ludwig Schläfli. It is named by John Horton Conway, extending the naming system by Arthur Cayley for the Kepler-Poinsot solids.

Related polytopes

It has the same edge arrangement as the grand 600-cell, icosahedral 120-cell, and the same face arrangement as the grand stellated 120-cell.

With its dual, it forms the compound of grand 120-cell and great stellated 120-cell.
